What is a domain name? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A domain name is the text name corresponding to the
numeric IP address of a computer on the Internet. A domain name must be unique.
Internet users access your website using your domain name.
The "address" or URL of a particular Web site. This is also how you describe
the name that is at the right of the @ sign in an Internet address. For
example, peertrix.com is the domain name of this website. We do register domain
names for a small fee and keep people from registering the same name.

What is the Domain Name System? |
|

The Domain Name System (DNS) helps users to find their way around the Internet.
Every computer on the Internet has a unique address – just like a telephone
number – which is a rather complicated string of numbers. It is called its "IP
address" (IP stands for "Internet Protocol").
But it is hard to remember everyone's IP address. The DNS makes it easier by
allowing a familiar string of letters (the "domain name") to be used instead of
the arcane IP address. So instead of typing 192.144.22.45, you can type
www.peertrix.com. It is a "mnemonic" device that makes addresses easier to
remember.
Translating the name into the IP address is called "resolving the domain name."
The goal of the DNS is for any Internet user any place in the world to reach a
specific website IP address by entering its domain name. Domain names are also
used for reaching e-mail addresses and for other Internet applications.
